Today I’m sharing How to make Glitter Cardstock. While working on a project I realized that I didn’t have glitter cardstock to match. So knowing that I have all the supplies to make it myself I thought I would share it with everyone.

Supplies used for How to make Glitter Cardstock.
- Cardstock – I recommend using the same color cardstock as your glitter.
- Glitter match the cardstock if possible or get close.
- Best Glue Ever by ScraPerfect
- Paintbrush damp water
- Old Gift card or hotel room card
- Ranger NSC20677 15-Inch-by-18-Inch Inkssentials Craft Sheet
The process is very easy for How to make Glitter Cardstock. Start with cardstock the size you want to be covered, in my case I used an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet. Prepare your work surface. The glue is very sticky so you will want to work on a surface that can be cleaned. The Ranger Craft Sheet is a great tool to have for messy projects.
Dip a wide paintbrush into clean water. Remove the excess water on a towel. The brush needs to be damp not dripping.
Squeeze out the Best Glue Ever in a zig-zag fashion all over the paper. Work quickly to spread the glue with the damp paintbrush.
Move the paper from the craft sheet. In the video, I used a 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper.
Dump a lot of glitter on the paper. Use an old key card or gift card to spread the glitter and then press it into the paper. Tap off the glitter and return the unused glitter to the container.
Allow the new glitter paper to dry before cutting. Wet paper tears, trust me I know. LOL. Enjoy using your new glitter paper in your projects. The glitter paper I made was cut into spiders and bats using my Cricut.
